Cup joy for Leonard and Quins

22 May 2004 14:31pm

England legend Jason Leonard lifted the Parker Pen Challenge Cup on his final Harlequins appearance after Montferrand pressed the self-destruct button at the Madejski Stadium.

Quins secured their place in next season's European Cup through a sensational try deep into injury time by substitute Simon Keogh, which his fellow replacement Andy Dunne converted to spark scenes of wild celebration.

Quins were outplayed for much of the match, but Montferrand had centre Raphael Chanal sent off in the 78th minute and the 14 men he left behind could not hang on.

Full-back Gavin Duffy scored a first-half try for the Londoners, while fly-half Paul Burke kicked four penalties and Dunne also slotted a penalty.

After losing their Under-20s Six Nations crown to England Under-20s in a thrilling final round, France Under-20s lock Tristan Labouteley insists his side will be out for revenge at this year's Junior World Championship.
